Help Me Pay

Living at the Residence Hall @ Brooklyn College has many advantages. It provides students with a sense of community, helps develop social skills making friends for life and allows them to live independently and interact with their peers in a safe and secure environment. Parents too find comfort and peace of mind in the fact that their children reside in a safe facility.

There are many ways to help pay for college housing.

The Brooklyn College Financial Aid office http://www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/web/about/offices/enrollment/financial.php can assist students and parents by providing guidance with respect to the various grants, scholarships and subsidized loans that may be available to students and their families. Many grants and loans can be utilized to pay for student housing and other non-tuition expenses.

There are many Federal programs that provide grants and loans to students and parents to help pay for housing. A link to Federal Direct Loans Program for Students and Federal Direct Loans PLUS Program for parents can be found here: http://www.direct.ed.gov/

Federal PELL Grants allow for funds to be used for housing and are available to students on a need-based basis. More information on the Federal PELL Grant can be found here: http://www2.ed.gov/programs/fpg/index.html

In addition to Federal and State assistance programs, there are many financial institutions that offer private loans for students and parents to help pay for tuition, housing, and other college expenses.
